I'm sure alot of this has been covered in the past but I couldn't find anything that dealt with this directly so I wanted to start a new post. Sorry if I offend anyone.

I am a musician and a DJ and am in the market for a new amplifier and monitor combination. My question is this, I want to end up with a system that would allow me the most usability with regard to both of my musical sides. I'm looking for a system that would give me good monitoring capabilities in my home studio, but that would also allow me the option of powering my DJ setup if the need arises. Now I know I would never be able to find a speaker/monitor setup that would work in both situations, given that studio monitors are supposed to be flat which would not work well in a DJ environment. So I guess I am wondering if it is possible to buy a good amplifier with sufficient power, (200W-250W per side?)that I could use to power my monitors while at home (probably around 100W to 150W?), and also use to power club speakers if the need arose. Would this have an adverse effect on the quality of the output or just run the risk of blowing the speakers if turned up too loud? Is this a wild goose chance? Should I just buy a pair of active monitors for my studio and a separate amp/speaker setup for my DJ rig? Or can I actual achieve this versatility without purchasing redundant equipment? Any advise would be great as I'm sort of new to the whole sound reinforcement end of this game. I'm looking to spend about $500-$650 on this now (without club speakers) and I don't want to make the wrong choice if I can avoid it.

Thanks
Steve

You might be able to use the amp in both situations but you'd need a mixer for the club work. You won't be able to use the monitors in the club so you'll need some decent P.A. speakers.
